Swear I Never Would Club

Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy and a Guy.
The talented twists of souls that combine to make the club are intertwined with the harsh reality of addiction.

Did you know that people whom have addictions generally also are prone to high intelligence. As per Verata Health: Specifically, the study found that men who had a mean IQ score of 109 (the highest in the study) were trying drugs much earlier and also used drugs more frequently than those who tested with an IQ of 100.

So the questions go through your hypothesis. Yes, each parent, friend, partner or loved one asks these questions!

WHY??

These hypotheses argue that intelligent people who use drugs:

Are easily bored - As a result, they look for new and novel things to push their mind. Drugs, being a dangerous and risky thing, entertain and even challenge their minds.

Need new challenges - Success often comes easily to intelligent people and they may need to overcome new challenges regularly in order to feel a sense of personal progress. And what is more difficult than beating addiction?

Try to fuel their creative fires - Intelligence and creativity are highly linked and the myth that drug use helps fuel creative genius has been spread for centuries.

Unfortunately, this may lead intelligent people to try drugs.

The Swear I Never Would Club consists of many members.

I'd like to introduce you too some of them, if you'll let me.
These stories are loosely based on people I've met throughout my journey through addiction and beyond.

I am writing this as I experienced it through real situations and twisted tales.

Enjoy the ride.
